A Novel Strike Feature.

According to the HezletOn papers,
the strike in that region has been
characterized by a feature, which, in
its novelty, surpasses anything on
record.
Among the coal operating firms
whose men are on a strike, is that Of
Coke Brothers s. Company. the senior
member of which is Senator Ecley 3.
Coke. The story related by our Halle
ton contemporaries, is to the effect
that Mrs. Coke, who is possessed of
great wealth in her own name. strongly
diSapprOved Of the policy adopted ky
her husbands firm, in refusing to COM
promise with the miners in their en-
ploy. She was moved to Indignation
when the orders were issued for the
men to take their tools out of the mines.
receive their pay and consider them
selves discharged, and move out of the
firms houses. The most remarkable
feature Of this episode follows. After
finding herself unable to influence her
husband and his firm, Mrs Coke offered
to purchase the mines herself, and re-
sumo operations on the base agreed
upon by the Philadelphia & Reading
Company and its employees.
Mrs. Coke is lady of very consider
able force, and possessed of qualities of
head and heart that ordinarily give
women great prominence in the world.
Mrs. Coke has been frequently heard
from in the mining regions through
acts of benevolence to the poor and I'M
fortunate, and her works of christian
charity have made her name familiar
and honored throughout the Lehigh
region.
But few suspected her as being
able to buy million dollars
worth of coal property from her hus-
band and his business associates, for
the sole purpose of securing liberal and
humane treatment for the thousands of
men in their employ.
That would come very close to a
serious reflection on the Messrs. Cox.

The Democratic party must prepare
to fight the battle next year with the
labor party vote mainly drawn from it
To be successful it must put itself
right in the coming session of congress
with the interest of labor. 1t must
boldly proclaim the truth. 1t must
boldly stigmatize and expose falsehood
and fraud. 1t must yield nothing and
fear nothing. The issue is low taxes
against high taxes;cheap living against

Mistakes OF Fashion.

One of the great mi takes Of the
present day is the paucity of under
clothing that women of fashion indulge
in; it is laying the seeds of many illness
cs. Some have dotted petticoats of any
kind, and are content with combinations
and dresses; it is neither seemly nor
good for health. Running into extremes
would seem 10 be character stic of
womankind. Some years ago they were
overweighted with clothing, which, COM
ing mostly from the hips, was in every
way dcleterious. Now they run so much
into the contrary extreme that, unless
the folly is nipped in the bud, disease of
the lungs, rheumatism and q long train
of evils will run rampant. The disciples
of wooden clothing would have nothing
else worn; but some capital elastic vests
have been brought out in thread, which
are quite worth thinking about II Cas-

Plush.

The most remunerative material in
fashion today is plush. A three or four
dollar plush is far richer In appearance
than an cight-dollar velvet, and for
wraps it is far superior to the costlier
fabric. 1t will not catch dust. it does
not show crcases, it retains its color
in sunlight as velvet never does. Plush
is great friend of the modest purse.
The prettiest dress seen on the street
yesterday was renovated, remade cos
tune. The wearer had had the plush
dress rs every best for two winters.
This fall, mingled with nice piece of
broadcloth, 1T came out as good as new
and handsomer than ever. Cloth or
cnmeps hair dresses are greatly improved
by vest fronts of plush. They arc easy
to make, and with one cloth gown and
three sets of plush and silk plastrons
lady can get along for a weeks visit.

An American Editor Al Gravlo,,e.

Editor Murat Halstead was at GRAY.
lotte IN 1870, and saw as much of that
battle as any one could see. He said
that it was all smoke and confusion,
however, to an unproressional mind.
1t was difficult to tell what was taking
place. While he was waiting about.
Bismarck camo along, riding with our
Phil Sheridan. Halstead called out to
Sheridan to tell him briefly what had
taken place. Sheridan did not recop.
nize him until he had taken off his hat.
and then he said:
Hello, Halstead! What are you
doing down heref"
Halstead replied in on off-hand way,
Il am just down here looking about.
thought it might be INTEREST," g."
At this word Interesting" Bismarck
burst out laughing. "If that is not an
American way of putting it," said he.
so you think it is interesting" and
again he laughed.
Bismarck treated him very politely
after Sheridan introduced him, but he
would not give him permission to buy
horse, and the editor, footsore and
weary, had to make his way as best he
could to the nearest railway station.
MIR. Halstead had number of in
teresting experiences during this war.
He said that he used to be arrested
about thirty times a day. He never
had any difficulty with the higher G err.
man officials. From them he always re.
ceived courtesy and attention, but
from the subordinates he never re-
ceiyed anything but incivility and dis
courtesy.
